Everyone loves it. Great go-to recipe.
Thank you. This recipe is so quick and tasty.
Couldn’t be easier and it tastes great! This is my weeknight go-to recipe.
Simply delicious! Healthy and tasty.
Thank you for the Simply and Satisfying Broccoli recipe. I forgot and left the broccoli in the pan for more than 3 resting minutes and of course it cooked more but was still good. Since making this dish I have cooked asparagus, cauliflower, and baby broccoli the same way and it comes out very tasty with a little bit of crunch. It’s good.
Good
It was just on the cusp of being a little too spicy, but not enough that I couldn’t eat it. It was simple tho cook, and was super delicious! The flavours really did go together well and this is going to be my go-to from now on, no more butter for me!
Simple and easy. Good for other vegetables too. Kids loved it.
So simple
Not usually my thing, broccoli. Cooked this way, I can eat it every night! Family loved it too.
